Superstar Virat Kohli

 The half-century on Saturday (March 11) during the third session of play was Virat’s first Test fifty in 14 months.

 Kohli’s wretched form continued as he was again dismissed outside the off-stump of the very first delivery he faced with Royal Challengers Bangalore huffing and puffing their way to a meager 68 all out in their IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Saturday.

India captain could go on to set two new records in the first of the four-Test series against Australia beginning on Thursday.

The India captain became the fastest to 18,000 international runs. He took nine more matches than Lara, but needed the fewest innings from among all 15 who have accomplished it.
